Bush at 29% Approval in Illinois. That’s like Keyes land. 67% Disapproval. That’s actually a tie with his November numbers, but when 2/3 of a state disapprove of a President–his party has problems up and down the ticket.
His disapproval by men is higher than his disapproval amongst women–that’s topsy turvey and his approval is the same for both genders.
18-34 20% approval.
Conservative Voters: 47% approval
Republican base strength stays around 70% which has been typical. UPDATE: Actually that has been falling—as recently as February, that number was closer to 80%.
Hispanic: 14% approval – 83% Disapproval
The Republican sample is lower than recent polls, but it’s hard to tell if that’s because Bush is so unpopular to be getting people to call themselves Independents or if the sample is slightly off. Even if off–it’s only by about 3 points at the most.
Pro-life 49%-49%
The Congressional Candidates for the Rs have to be very worried about these numbers as does Topinka.
Oh, if only the election were today!
Starting a war with Iran has to be considered as a possible way for Bush to address the collapse in his approval ratings. We are in very dangerous territory.
It shows 8% of Democrats as approving of Bush’s performance — so that’s Joe Lieberman and who else?
